...Songs of Bobby Short (Atlantic LP). A witty and irreverent survey of standard amatory numbers (Speaking of Love, So Near and Yet So Far) by one of the most offbeat café singer-pianists now operating.

Today a stereo recording of Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony costs a whopping $18.95; the same symphony on LP disk sells for $3.98.

Broadway Producer Richard Kollmar once accused the LP record: "When you had the 78s, you had to get up and change the damned things every few minutes, so you got bored and went out.''
